tion. The flower trusses are immense heads from nine to twelve inches in 
length, and nearly as broad. Color purest white, afterward changing to deep 
pink as the season advances. It blooms in July, at a time when no other 
shrub is in flower, and remains beautiful until destroyed by frost. Hardy 
as a lilac bush. The plants we offer will all bloom the first season. Prices 
according to size. First size, each, 50 cents; two for 80 cents. Second size, 
each, 25 cents; three for 60 cents.

Hydrangea is the most beautiful hardy flowering shrub introduced in many

form of the panicle is much like that of Hydrangea Hortensis. Trusses large 
and beautifully formed ; the blooms are of the very largest size, puresnow- 
white; the foliage is finely finished. Strong, one-year plants, each, $1.00.
